Produktbeschreibung
"I´ve had a most amazing time...." So begins the Time Traveller´s astonishing firsthand account of his journey eight hundred thousand years beyond his own era-and the story that launched H. G. Wells´s successful career and earned him the reputation as the father of science fiction. With a speculative leap that still fires the imagination, Wells sends his brave explorer to face a future burdened with our greatest hopes...and our darkest fears. A pull of the Time Machine´s lever propels him to the age of a slowly dying Earth. There he discovers two bizarre races-the ethereal Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks-who not only symbolize the duality of human nature, but offer a terrifying portrait of tomorrow as well.

Thanks to Wells´s expert storytelling and provocative insight, The Time Machine will continue to enthrall readers for generations to come. With an Introduction by Greg Bear and a New Afterword
